need it any more, and as far as Birding-Aus goes it seems that I may
 have been wasting my time, the fortnightly notification will now  
cease.

 Duncan I certainly don't mind getting notifications about the I and  
the Bird blog festivals. I read quite a lot of blogs but usually the  
first notification I see of IatB is your posts on the list pointing to  
the blog entry and they are much appreciated.
 It seems to me, after a few months on this mailing list, it is chock  
full of 'nelly naysayers' who are always quick to find fault with just  
about everything that doesn't coincide exactly with their interests.  
Does this predilection have any concordance with those who don't like  
blogs? I don't know but it does seem to me that both betray a deep  
misunderstanding of how the internet works on the social level. But  
then I am a technology-literate software engineer by trade so who am I  
to judge? Still, I haven't been subscribed to a list with such a large  
variety of petty animus displayed between its subscribers for many  
years.
 However, all that as it is, I must plead with you to not give up  
sending the I and the Bird notices to the list. People must learn to  
simply ignore messages that don't interest them rather than launching  
bitter and public tirades about it.*

 * much like, the I and the Bird posts ... I skim them to see which  
entries might be of interest then I read those that I select (and just  
like using the Google Reader to skim blog posts in general!). It's  
very simple to do this to the subject lines of the mail box containing  
the birding-aus posts.
